  • “Location, location, location! Sensational view over the boats in the harbour — therapeutic and relaxing. A perfect holiday destination, just a short flat walk to town with plenty of great restaurants nearby".

    — Robin, TripAdvisor, Nov 2024

  • “Service was exceptional! After 4 days of terrible service elsewhere, we thought we’d stepped into heaven when we arrived at the Boathouse. The team allowed us an early check-in and were so kind and accommodating. We wished we could have stayed longer!”

    — Emily, Google Review, Feb 2025

  • “Perfect location and stunning views. Perfectly located next to the cruise terminal for trips and five minutes from the town centre. Staff super friendly and pool lovely too. If I come back to Airlie I will definitely stay here again.”

  • “Incredible service from Lea & Ross. Lea and Ross went above and beyond to help us during our stay — including a lift to the ferry in heavy rain! Apartment was beautifully clean, well equipped, and in a to-die-for location.”

    — Edd, TripAdvisor, Jan 2025

  • “Gorgeous, spacious, and welcoming. Huge balcony, comfy beds, and every kitchen appliance you could want. The pool was my favourite part of the day. Friendly staff — nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommend with closed eyes!”

    — Barbara, Google Review, Jan 2025

  • “Just brilliant. Our apartment had everything — full kitchen, two bathrooms, laundry, loads of space, and a stunning view. The location on the marina was unbelievable. We used the pool, the tennis court, and enjoyed the short walk into town. We really hope to return one day.”

    — Trevor, Booking.com, Mar 2025

  • “Felt at home straight away. We travelled so long to get here, but it was worth it. The reception staff were so helpful — we were welcomed warmly, and made to feel at home even while waiting for our room. We had the best time.”
